The API does not seem to support this, but it should be easy to hack this (return not only a list of duplicates but the actual distance to the target image along with it, then sort results by distance).

> "Repurposing Top Bits" - don't do that. Honest. +1 I once shrugged this of as paranoid BS and got bitten by it in the very same project. It did cost me some all-nighters to fix the results of my arrogance.

As a lisp programmer who never wrote in Haskell the snippet you quoted is crystal clear to me, while with explicit loops I always have to double check, because I am pattern matching the code "ah, a map or reduce was meant"
